From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Gordon Brown today wooed first-time voters in a constituency where Labour holds a 3,000 majority.

The Prime Minister and local MP Tony Wright met students at Great Yarmouth College in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

Mr Brown spent around 30 minutes at the college, meeting students studying boat-building, plumbing and catering.

Mr Wright took Great Yarmouth from the Conservatives with an 8,000 majority 13 years ago. His majority was almost halved in 2001 and then cut to 3,055 in 2005.
